There are more than 300 Oklahoma National Guard members spread out across the country at active duty military bases to get medical treatment.

A program called Operation Warfighter is designed to help get those soldiers back home while they recover.

 “We don’t want them to have to be away from home, they have already been away from home for a year.  So, we want them to be able to come back home, be close to their families and at the same time they need a federal job since they are still on active duty,” says Colonel Michael Teague with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Tulsa District.

The federal program has helped his family after his brother returned from serving in Afghanistan with the Vermont National Guard and had a knee injury.

Today a meeting was held for federal agencies from the Tulsa area to learn more about the program.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Tulsa District was one of the hosts, along with the regional and state Operation War Fighter organization, Oklahoma Military Department, Society of American Military Engineers, Weston Solutions and the Oklahoma Federal Executive Board.

KRMG is told 20 different federal agencies attended to learn more about Operation Warfighter.

“We want to link them up with federal agencies so that they can be home and get their care so that their family can take care of them and just kind of put those families back together,” says Teague.

The program is like an internship for federal jobs for military members who are still recovering, undergoing medical treatments or surgeries.
